We are happy to announce the publication of the edited collection Feminist Surveillance Studies (Duke University Press). Feminist Surveillance Studies (edited by Rachel E. Dubrofsky and Shoshana A. Magnet) insists on the urgency of developing a critical feminist scholarship and praxis on surveillance, placing gender, race, class, and sexuality at the center of surveillance studies. Concerned with exposing the ways in which surveillance is tied to discrimination, it investigates what constitutes surveillance, who is scrutinized, why, and at what cost.
“Feminist Surveillance Studies provides a much-needed set of feminist interventions into the study of surveillance. The essays offer critically important insights into the gendered dimensions of state surveillance, vividly outline the structural inequalities designed into surveillance regimes, and provide a wealth of avenues for future research.”—Kelly A. Gates, author of Our Biometric Future: Facial Recognition Technology and the Culture of Surveillance
"Surveillance cannot but be about social sorting, so it must also always be about inequalities. This book prods and provokes its readers to focus critically on those inequalities so that the study of surveillance never slips into complacency or complicity." --David Lyon, author of
